Don’t you just love coming home to a room filled with the faintly lingering scent of natural incense? Burning incense as part of your daily ritual is made all the more joyful with our gorgeous new handmade ceramic incense holder.
Thrown in white porcelain, the Flora has a delicate scalloped edge and is glazed in smooth coral. Three different sizes of holes in the dome means it’s perfect for any width of incense stick.
It’s an elegant little object, and fits like a tiny floral dream on mantelpieces, storage cupboards, shelves. I keep mine on display, nestled amongst vintage brass candlesticks, picture frames and bowls of flowers.
Burning incense is know to aid meditation and relaxation, and even improve focus. I like to light some in the morning and have it burning on my desk as I’m working.

Fill your home with the calming aroma of soothing sandalwood or restful rose with these gorgeous incense cones from Earl of East London. These neat little cones burn for around fifteen minutes but will carry on scenting your home for the rest of the day.
Place one into our Devon bowl, light the tip and wait for 15-20 seconds before blowing out the flame and allowing it to smoke gently. This self care set also comes with a mini white sage smudge stick. Native Americans have traditionally used herbs like sage to clear away negative energies and attract positive ones. Smudging with white sage is also said to release negative ions that fight dust and pollution.
To use, light your sage stick over the Devon bowl, then blow on it until the flame goes out. The sage will then lightly smoke, much like incense. Holding it over the bowl, walk around your home gently wafting the smoke of your sage stick into every corner of your space.
This set includes:
Our Devon Bowl in oatmeal
Earl of East London incense cones in Sandalwood or Rose
One small white sage smudge stick
